Yesterday glinburgh Papers to the 7th instant reached town. They confirm the account of the etpture of War*l..v by the Austrians. It appears fruit) these account.; that a Convention was agreed upon between the Archduke FEi(DINAND and Prince PotnArowsx.r, M consequence .of which the troops I tinder. the command of the latter retired to the other i Side of the Vistula, without; however, engaging not i - toserve again. Reports are circulated on the Con- I 'the Danube. tinent with great Industry, by the French agents, that the aus.sian* are' oi9g to take an active part . fgaitibt Austria, and 'that 70,000 Alussians are on the poi l a t 01 entering Gallicia. We are very :much in clined to believe that Ru,sia will not take an active part against Austria; but even if she were inclined to do it, ihe has not, we Are convinced, 'a dispostt :, ale force of 70,000 men on the frontiers of Gallicia. Sonia of the private Letters which have been re- Ceived front the Conti,ent contain a report of a great victory obtained by the Austrians over the French, but we fear there is no toundation, for this report. Zudependaut of the French aceJOnis, there can be tio doubt, froM the *Austrian Bulletins which we ye3terday laid before our Headers, that the Austrians have suffered most- severely; but at the same time it is obviou s that the French pu chased their vi&ory MOSt dearly, lion' the circuinstance: of their not be ing able to advance for so many days, after the bat.: tle of Ctttj, u bl . The French Bulletins compared the victory over the Austrians to that obtained over the Prussians at 'Jena; but after that battle the. }rench overran the whole of the Prussian territories without meeting air impediment that retarded their P rQ g r ss for a day. Our hopes have been so fi•e -quwltlY disappointed, that 'we are unwilling to in dulge in expeaatiuns that may prove too sanguine, but every day's intelligence tends to confirm us in• the opinion; that it the Austrians do not suffer them selves to be panic-struck by their first disasters, they stay yet bring the , campaign. to a favourable con clusicm. Lieut. ANDERSON, of his Majesty's Ship Niobe, and Captains GOLDFINCH and. ToomPsoN, of the Artillery, are - prisoners at Oiiorto; His Majesty's .hip graft/pis, with the Phc . enir, Preston, Sara!'
